After the success of the first combined supra/ skyline dyno day it was decided that we should again invite the skyline boys and girls to a less competitive (maybe) social day with go-karts @ Hume and then lunch at the Kingo.

Dates are still to be confirmed however at this stage we would be looking at Sunday 27th June or 4th July. We will start around 9am so hopefully all races will have finished around lunch time.

Hume karts centre has requested the full payment and confirmed numbers 2 weeks before the event. Each race will have 10 people and run for approximately 10 minutes.

This is a social type event so owners and drivers are both welcome :) This also includes partners!

I’d like to gauge some numbers by Wednesday 16th June. Please put your name on the list below and nominate which day suites you most, majority wins.

For those who want to consume alcohol at the lunch please remember to have someone else drive!

As Kat has mentioned. To hold a place you will need to pay up front. It is much easier for us to book and hold the time for us. simply showing up risks not being able to get people on, the general public joining our races and the whole event could drag out for many hours.

I have orgainised a couple of these events in the past and trust me there is nothing worse then spending time trying to update the thread 5 times a day for 3 weeks to find 80% of the people dont show up, or run late etc.

Our club has started a blacklist for people who say they will be there on the internet but wont show up to the event as we're sick of the drop outs or no shows. If you dont show up the only one missing out will be the individuals wallet. Obviously sometimes unexpected personal issues can arise for which we have no problem.

After the 16th i will be confirming numbers. All payments will need to be made within 1 week to avoid being removed from the list and potentially removed from future social events.

I'm keen. Its always a good day out for car clubs. 10 on the track at once though will be very crowded! I know, I used to work there!! However, with large groups its unavoidable.... Prefer 27th June.

Yeah right! I'm so out of practice even Mick would have a chance! Nah.. I'm not that outta practice... :banana: jks

Seriously though, it all comes down to how good your kart is. That line of ".. They're all the same.." is a croc of sh1t.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
